Best free data encryption software

         In the previous article, I introduced you to some data encryption software. Today I would like to introduce to you the best free data encryption software. This is open-source Cryptomator software.

 Cryptomator is a client-side encryption solution that is open source and it is used to encrypt files before syncing to the cloud. 

It's a cross-platform app, available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X, as well as iOS. An Android application is currently in development. 

It is announced that Cryptomator is specially developed to encrypt files in cloud services like Dropbox, Google Drive, Mega and other cloud storage in sync with a local folder. 

This makes for a lightweight application, as well as a big benefit for reliability. 

With Cryptomator, there's no need to deal with accounts, manage keys, grant cloud access, or install encryption. You just need to choose a password and you are good to go.

 Why Cryptomator is the best free data encryption software, there are several reasons below

    - No backdoors, no expiration date thanks to open source

You don't have to trust Cryptomator blindly, because it is open source software. For you as a user, this means that everyone can see the code.

   -  Audited by security researchers

In addition to independent security audits, the software is continuously and publicly tested in an automated way and has a measurable code quality and test coverage that is far above the industry average.

    - GDPR-compliant synchronization with your entire team via the cloud

When using Cryptomator and a cloud service with an appropriate DPA, you can synchronize data GDPR-compliant over the cloud with an entire team.

How does Cryptomator protect your data?

Cryptomator's technology meets the latest standards and encrypts both files and filenames with AES and 256 bit key length.

To start with Cryptomator, you assign a password for a folder - we call it a vault - within your cloud. That is all. No complicated key creation, no registration, no configuration!

To access the vault, simply enter the password again. You will be provided with a virtual encrypted drive to which you can move your data - just like a USB flash drive. Every time you store something on this drive, Cryptomator encrypts the data automatically. Pretty simple, right?

The technology behind this is state-of-the-art and encrypts both files and filenames with AES and 256 bit key length. This means: if someone looks into the folder in your cloud, they cannot draw any conclusions about your data.

Put a lock on your cloud

With Cryptomator, the key to your data is in your hands. Cryptomator encrypts your data quickly and easily. Afterwards you upload them protected to your favorite cloud service.

Cryptomator is a simple tool for digital self-defense. It allows you to protect your cloud data by yourself and independently.

Most cloud providers encrypt data only during transmission or they keep the keys for decryption for themselves. These keys can be stolen, copied, or misused. Thanks to Cryptomator, only you have the key to your data in your hand.

Cryptomator allows you to access your files from all your devices. It's easy to use and integrates seamlessly between your data and the cloud.
